Fall leaves are starting to drift down these days, and we had a big thunder storm this weekend. Everywhere sandals are being replaced with boots, summer dresses with soft, lightweight leather jackets. One of my favorite looks this fall is a simple dress with short boots and a fitted leather jacket.

Just got another bag from the elderly leather craftsman in Tuscany. This one is teal green suede with a subtle dog print, and trimmed with python. It even has a python cell phone holder inside. The red suede and cavallino bag and the navy leather and python bag were snatched up by the first two women who saw them! Yes, they are that beautiful! One would expect to pay 3 times his asking price in a shop, and this quality is beyond anything else I have seen.

This shearling coat has me wishing for colder weather! It looks brown in the photo, but it is actually an olive green.

These men’s shoes are so fun! With the blue laces, and woven leather, they would look great with jeans, or could be dressed up with nice slacks. Love the Italian classic designs with just a little twist to make them interesting.

Even though I hate to see summer go, I must admit that all the fall fashion here in Florence makes it much easier to bear!
